    I mean, the republican advertising campaign doesn’t /have/ to smear campaign the democratic candidates. They could, you know, actually advertise what their side is bringing to the table.

    That being said i feel the same way with the democratic party, it’s why I hate US politics, it’s always “vote for me because the other side is the antichrist” or some stupid thing, never focusing on what they are going to do, just what the other person might do.

      Because that’s the one quiet part they don’t actually want to say out loud. It’s bad enough that even their brainwashed mob has started to think it over.

    This just highlights how well thought out the timing of Biden’s statement was.

    I don’t know when he made his decision, but it was probably weeks ago. He pretended he was still going to be running so that the GOP spent their entire convention attacking him. Once the convention was over, he waited until just after the Sunday politics talk shows were done, and then made his announcement.

    Now they get weeks to build up excitement for the Democratic convention while the Republican news cycle is over.

    Lol Trump and the GOP always said he was too old and shouldn’t run, so he drops out and now they’re mad about it. The GOP is both infuriating and hilarious at the same time.

      “BIDEN TOO OLD!! SLEEPY JOE! HUNTER’S LAPTOP! OLD! BIDEN OLD!”

      Joe Biden: The American people have spoken, and I have elected to bow to their wishes and exit the presidential race.

      “NOT LIKE THAT! BIDEN OLD! BIDEN COST MONEY! BIDEN OLD! PUT HIM BACK IN, ONLY OLDS NOW!”

    “Just askin,” aside from being an incomplete sentence, is a statement so a question mark is the incorrect punctuation to use for it.
